Spied during what Autoexpress reports as a commercial photo shoot, the SV’s revised styling package gets a host of aerodynamic enhancements, with a more aggressive treatment to its various air intakes, vents and airflow guides, a more pronounced rear diffuser and a now-signature SV rear wing.

More liberal lashings of unpainted carbonfibre are also key SV visual cues.

In the long tradition of SV-enhanced Miuras, Diablos and Murcielagos before it, the Aventador SuperVeloce will be perfect for customers who consider Lamborghini’s ‘regular’ V12 hypercar a little too tame.

While it’s unclear how much extra output engineers will extract from the regular LP700-4’s 515kW and 690Nm 6.5-litre engine, the SuperVeloce must surely surpass the 530kW of 2013’s limited-edition LP720-4 50 Anniversario model.

A neat 750 horsepower (551kW), complete with a requisite LP750-4 designation, seems the safest and most fitting bet.

The SV will also need to supplant the Anniversario’s ear-pinning 2.9sec 0-100km/h claim.

Top speed? Its predecessor, the Murcielago SV, was offered with two different aero packages, each with its own V-max claim, so it’s feasible the new SV could breach Anniversario’s 350km/h peak should a ‘slippery’ small-winged aero package be made available.

That said, handling and stability, rather than top-speed heroics, could well be the most crucial performance benchmarks for the latest SV breed.

Like the Murcielago SV before it, expect the top-spec Aventador to be stripped of 100kg through weight savings spread across the chassis, bodywork, interior and powertrain, leaving the weighbridge ticket under 1.5-tonne. Expect exact figures at the Geneva motor show this March.

If and when the Aventador lands on Aussie terra firma, don’t expect much change from a frosty million dollars.
